CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) Bryce Harper finally got his first spring training hit with the Philadelphia Phillies after a 0-for-9 start.

The slugger lined a 97-mph fastball to center on a 2-1 pitch from Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull in the fourth inning of Wednesday's game. He jokingly gestured toward the dugout that he wanted to keep the ball.

It was Harper's 16th plate appearance over six exhibition games. Turnbull struck him out swinging in the first.
